Nostradamus
Introduction of a Wikipedia article. Complete article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nostradamus
Mich
de Nostredame, usually Latinised to Nostradamus, was a French
apothec
and reputed seer who published collections of prophecies that have since become
fam
worldwide. He is best known for his
bo
Les Propheties ( "The Prophecies "), the first
edit
of which appeared in 1555. Since the publication of this book, which has
ra
been out of print since his death, Nostradamus has attracted a following that, along
wi
the popular press, credits him with
predicti
many
ma
wor
events. The
pro
ha
in
so
cases been assimilated to the
resul
of applying the alleged Bible code, as well as to other purported prophetic works. Most
academ
sources
maint
that the associations made between
wor
events and Nostradamus's
quatrai
are largely the result of misinterpretations or mistranslations (sometimes deliberate) or
el
are so tenuous as to render them
use
as evidence of any
genui
predictive power. Moreover, none of the
sou
listed offers any evidence
th
anyone has
ev
interpreted any of Nostradamus's
quat
spec
eno
to
al
a clear
identifi
of any
eve
in advance.
